                                                       6.13 You Are there   
      
   First airing was Feb 5, 2001.   
      
   The story starts out with Xena and Gabrielle on horses, riding hard, then on   
   a (?) Roman ship, then a Norse ship. When they land, a raven flies back to   
   Valhalla and we hear Odin yell out, "What? Here?"   
      
   Beowulf is in a Norse tavern drinking at the bar. Gabrielle goes up to him   
   and says hello. He says to Xena that she's a long way from home. Xena can't   
   understand why Beowulf is so indifferent to Gabrielle. He says it was   
   love-struck foolishness. Xena says she needs to see Odin. Behind her, three   
   Valkyries say they have orders to keep her away from Odin. Xena draws her   
   sword and attacks with Gabrielle following behind her.   
      
   Outside a man in modern dress with a microphone is talking to a camera. He   
   is there to get an interview with Xena. After the three Valkyries are thrown   
   out into the snow he runs up to Xena and asks why she has returned to the   
   Norse lands. And will she comment on the fact that Odin has sworn to kill   
   her? Xena looks into the camera with a sour look on her face.   
      
   Nigel, the photo journalist, is talking to the camera saying some see Xena   
   as a savior. Others see her as a butcher of thousands of innocent people.   
   And tonight he will put that question to her.   
      
   X&G are in a studio getting ready to be interviewed – makeup and   
   microphones. Nigel welcomes Xena and calls Gabrielle the Battling Bard of   
   Poteidaia, making her smile with the pride of recognition. He tells Xena   
   that as a Valkyrie she used Odin's runes to cause a reign of terror. And he   
   wants to know why she's come back now, since there's no love lost between   
   her and Odin. She answers that's why she and Gabrielle have come back. He   
   interrupts saying she betrayed Odin and turned Grinhilda into a monster.   
   There is a "file photo" of Grindl. Gabrielle reminds him Xena turned her   
   back again.   
      
   Next he asks if her intention is to kill Odin and have herself proclaimed a   
   god in his place. When she denies it, he mentions she stole the Rheingold   
   and forged it into a ring to give her a god's powers. She says she gave it   
   back. When he asks about her killing the Olympians, Gabrielle tells him they   
   were trying to kill her daughter. The daughter, he says, followed in Xena's   
   bloody footsteps. When he asks if she still has the power to kill gods, she   
   gets angry and says he  can kill much lower forms of life. Gabrielle says   
   the interview is over and they leave.   
      
   Next Nigel is at the River Styx interviewing Charon. He says Xena hasn't   
   sent him that many, but sent some of the bigger names – Marc Antony, Velasca   
   and Callisto.  Caligula is impatiently waiting and Nigel asks him a few   
   questions. Charon says she is evil and not to let anyone tell him otherwise.   
   He says he was a living god and that bitch took him out.   
      
   Next Nigel is back in the studio and is interviewing someone anonymously by   
   being invisible. He tells Nigel that Xena is after the golden apples   
   protected by Frigga because Xena wants to be a god. Nigel knows that only   
   Odin can become invisible. Odin appears and yells at the monitor that Xena   
   will never become a god, and uses a fireball to destroy it.   
      
   Nigel finds Gabrielle next to a stream washing up. He wants to know if there   
   is a sexual relationship between Xena and Ares. She gets angry and pushes   
   him face first into the mud.   
      
   Nigel is at Ares' farm and knocks on the door. Ares yells for him to go   
   away. But he keeps knocking. Ares opens the door and Nigel asks if he is the   
   former god of war. He asks why Xena wants to steal the golden apples. Ares   
   doesn't answer. Nigel says Odin believes it's because she wants to restore   
   Ares to Olympus and she will be  his queen. Ares says she's had plenty of   
   opportunities, but she isn't interested.   
      
   Suddenly they hear Xena's voice and Nigel pushes his way into the farm   
   house. Xena comes out from a back room and he accuses them of plotting   
   together. Xena tells him to stay out of her business. Ares violently throws   
   Nigel and the cameraman out.   
      
   Next Nigel is in heaven interviewing Archangel Michael. He says Xena always   
   puts her self-interest ahead of the greater good. Then he tells Nigel about   
   her casting Archangel Lucifer into hell  to take her place after she killed   
   Mephistopheles.   
      
   Nigel falls through a cloud and lands in Hell. He interviews Lucifer, who is   
   still angry at Xena and says she can't be trusted and wishes he could get   
   her down there.   
      
   Next Nigel finds Eve and other Elijans praying. But when he starts asking   
   her about Xena and Ares, and if she was jealous that Ares was still obsessed   
   with Xena while sleeping with Eve,  she starts cussing him out and punches   
   him in the nose.   
      
   Back in the studio, Nigel is interviewing Gabrielle. She tells him he is   
   wrong about Xena. She and Ares aren't conspiring to rule the world. She   
   wants to save it, so she needs the golden apples. He suggests Xena has a   
   lust for Ares. Then the monitor shows clips of Xena and Ares kissing.   
   Gabrielle admits they have a history. He wonders if her feelings for Xena   
   has confused her. Then he asks her directly if she's in love with Xena. And   
   with a confused look on her face, she says she doesn’t love Xena.   
      
   Xena breaks into he studio and puts the Pinch on Nigel and asks him if he   
   loves anybody at all. Then looking into the camera she yells to Odin that   
   she's coming for him.   
      
   Xena and Gabrielle are walking outside the studio and Gabrielle asks  Xena   
   what her plan is. Xena is angry because by this time she ought to be able to   
   figure it out. Gabrielle complains about being just the side kick. They   
   argue some more then Xena stops them. Gabrielle tells her people who love   
   each other wouldn't says the things they've been saying. Xena says they have   
   to get love back into the world. And Gabrielle, with a smart-aleck grin,   
   asks again what the plan is.   
      
   In a bordello, Nigel is trying to interview the Madam who is making sure the   
   customers all have numbers. She tells him she always has business since it's   
   not about love. She calls out number 27 for a "Thor's Hammer" and Ares   
   appears. He then runs away yelling he's not a criminal, he just wants to get   
   laid, with Nigel chasing him.   
      
   Nigel is now in a cave talking to a mysterious woman with a long hooded   
   robe, her face hidden. She tells him Xena is trying to put a god back on   
   Olympus but not the one he thinks. She doesn't want to rule the world, she   
   wants to save it. She tells him to follow the love.
